Monk: Swansea can improve on United win

Garry Monk has challenged his Swansea City players to prove their Old Trafford victory was no fluke by improving in the Premier League.

Goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Ki Sung-yueng handed Swansea a 2-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday in the opening game of the new season.

The victory marked the second time in 2014 that the Welsh club have triumphed at United following an FA Cup third round success back in January.

Monk, though, does not want his team to become complacent and believes Swansea are capable of producing more polished performances.

"We can get better, we can improve on that," insisted Monk.

"We can be sharper in certain areas, but the whole key to it all was us coming together as a group, working for each other and I think everyone saw that.

"We've worked very hard in pre-season, putting structures in place were we could adapt to different situations and it was very pleasing we did that for most of the game and limit Manchester United to very little chances."
